رأيت دعواك في المنار ال
رفيع تعتز بالشهودِ
I saw your claim in al-Manar, the
lofty, drawing strength from witnesses.
فقلتُ حقٌّ يرعاه حرٌّ
يقظان في معشرٍ رقودِ
So I said: a truth guarded by a free man,
awake amid a company of sleepers.
وأنت يا ابن الصديق أدرى
بسيرة الدين في الوجود
And you, O son of al-Siddiq, know best
the course of religion in the world.
وأنت أولى بأن تنادي
إليه بالمرعد الشديد
And you are most worthy to call
to it with a mighty, thunderous voice,
مؤلفاً في الكتاب بين ال
قريب والنازح البعيد
uniting in the book those
near and those who have gone far away.
فَنَّدْتَ ما كان يدَّعيه
علامةُ العالم الجديد
You refuted what was being claimed
by the great scholar of the new world.
Sol 6.1
